Search Results Being Redirected - For Carolyn

[californiastreet]

Hi Carolyn,

My topic was closed because I did not reply to your post for 3 days. I sincerely apologize. We had a fire in our building on Friday night and had water coming through our ceiling. We are back in our unit (although sleeping in the guestroom/office) and I desperately want to fix this problem with my search results being redirected.

To answer your question from your last post, I use this computer for personal use. It was a work computer that I bought from my old company when they went out of business, they wiped it and made it so I have all the admin rights.

Below is a link to my original post:

In addition, Trojan Scanner has identified a registry key that seems to be the problem here. this is the message I get from them:

The Windows Registry Loads the following via AppInit_DLLs:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\kbdsock.dll

The file is called form the following Registry Key:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\"AppInit_DLLs"

I have deleted the kbdsock.dll file from the System32 folder and after a restart, the file reappears. I didn't want to mess with the registry, but it seems like that may be a required move now.

Any help you can provide would be much appreciated!

Thanks, Ryan
